Combined meeting with Birdlife Castlemaine District, Friday 14th November, 7.30pm, Uniting Church Chapel, Lyttleton St.
Speaker: Richard Alcorn (Geelong Field Naturalists Club), “eBird Data Explorations”
With backgrounds in computer programming and a passion for recording bird observations, Richard and Margaret Alcorn developed the world’s first on-line bird atlassing system called Eremaea Birds, launched in 2003. This proved very successful and after 10 years it was merged with eBird, a global database managed by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, US. In this talk, Richard will show us what can be learnt about bird movements and trends using citizen science data from eBird with many interesting examples and insights from the Geelong and Castlemaine regions.
All Welcome
Uniting Church Chapel, Castlemaine.
